the weekend was spent in spokane, staffing the prov 8 young adult & higher ed gathering. the weekend went off with only a few minor glitches, and everyone seemed to have a good time. this year’s theme was “turning off the noise” and the gathering was purposefully designed to encourage everyone to listen to the silence. its not an easy thing…this listening for God in the silence. my mind often wandered. especially about what my plans should be for the short term.<\/p>\n
my options are this:<\/p>\n
First: stay here in portland, at my current job, continue the process, but probably be a little unhappy with my current job.<\/p>\n
Second: talk to my friend in LA and see if he needs an assistant for next year. possibily continue the process in the diocese of oregon, but if need be, start it in LA.<\/p>\n
Third: look more into the international mission project from the national church. possibly go to India or China (or some other place).<\/p>\n
The key thing to reconcile with each of these options is my desire to start seminary in the fall of 2007. Right now I’m really not sure which way I should go. I need to get a little more information about each of the second two options though.<\/p>\n
I have some more decompressing to do on this subject (and the conference), which I’ll have to do later. My brain is still kinda mushy from the loss of an hour and the drive home yesterday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
